Kirstin Borgerson, of Dalhousie University, delivered a lecture on January 29, 2016 entitled, Toward an Epistemic Justification for Research-Practice Integration in Medicine. Video of this lecture has been posted on the Rotman Institute of Philosophy YouTube channel.
Abstract: Arguments in favor of greater research-practice integration in medicine have tended to be ethical, political, or pragmatic. But there are good epistemic reasons to pursue greater integration, and it is important to think through these reasons in order to avoid inadvertently designing new systems in ways that replicate deep and enduring problems within current systems.
